Ingredients
  

For the Deviled Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Kewpie mayonnaise Or other high-quality mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp gochujang Adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar Unseasoned
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste
For Garnish
  • 1 tbsp sliced green onions Also known as scallions
  • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) Optional, for extra spice

Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Piping Bag (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the eggs, slice them in half lengthwise, and transfer the yolks to a medium bowl.
  3. To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the Kewpie mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted black sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of gochugaru, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: The egg whites and yolk filling can be prepared and stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving for the best results.
Customize the Heat: Gochujang brands vary in spice level. Start with the recommended amount and add more if you prefer extra heat.
